Beauty

by Kayla Sonya Dearing   Jan 29, 2005


I cover up my face
So I don't have to look at my natural look
I wear clothes that don't show the real me
I act differently then the way I feel

Some people say beauty on the out don't count
Some people say it does count
Some say it only matters what you think of yourself
But why don't people believe it?

I cover my face with junk
So I can look better
Because I have to try to make me beautiful on the out

I wear clothes that are in
I hurt because its not the true me
I smile when I want to frown
I laugh when I want to cry

Some thinks beauty is everything
Some has beauty that comes natural
Some hast to make them beautiful
Buy why is it so important?

I cry at night because people say I'm ugly
I cry at night because I know the truth
I pray at night to make my beauty show
Why can't I show my beauty?

I've been hurt so many times
I've been made fun of some many times
People say I'm ugly and it hurts
People laugh at the way you look and the way you dress

Just once in my life
I would like everyone to think I'm pretty
Just onces in my life
I would like everyone to like what I wear.

Just once in my life
I would like everyone to stop making fun of me
Just once in my life
I would like everyone to see how much pain I'm in.

How can everyone not see the pain?
How can everyone not see the mask?
How can everyone treat other people like this?
How can everyone not see the sadness they caused?

The beauty may seem hard to see
But everyone has beauty
There's more then one type of beauty
But the most important kind of beauty is the inside.
